Since the lamina is adjacent to important tissues such as nerves, once damaged, it can cause serious complications and even lead to paralysis. In order to prevent the above injuries and complications, ultrasonic bone scalpel and surgical robots have been introduced into spinal laminectomy, and many scholars have studied the recognition method of the bone tissue status. Currently, almost all methods to achieve recognition of bone tissue are based on sensor signals collected by high-precision sensors installed at the end of surgical robots. However, the previous methods could not accurately identify the state of spinal bone tissue. Innovatively, the identification of bone tissue status was regarded as a time series classification task, and the classification algorithm LSTM-FCN was used to process fusion signals composed of force and cutting depth signals, thus achieving an accurate classification of the lamina bone tissue status. In addition, it was verified that the accuracy of the proposed method could reach 98.85% in identifying the state of porcine spinal laminectomy.

The authors observe that gestures generated from speech audio or text by existing neural methods often contain less movement shift than expected, which can be viewed as slow or dull. Thus, a new generative model coupled with memory networks as dynamic dictionaries for speech-driven gesture generation with improved diversity is proposed. More specifically, the dictionary network dynamically stores connections between text and pose features in a list of key-value pairs as the memory for the pose generation network to look up; the pose generation network then merges the matching pose features and input audio features for generating the final pose sequences. To make the improvements more accurately measurable, a new objective evaluation metric for gesture diversity that can remove the influence of low-quality motions is also proposed and tested.

In the online-to-offline logistics business, it is essential to detect anomaly merchants with fraudulent shipping behaviours, such as sending other merchants' packages for profit with their low discounts. This can help reduce the financial losses of platforms and ensure a healthy environment. Existing anomaly detection studies have mainly focused on online fraud behaviour detection, such as fraudulent purchase and comment behaviours in e-commerce. However, these methods are not suitable for anomaly merchant detection in logistics due to the more complex online and offline operation of package-sending behaviours and the interpretable requirements of offline deployment in logistics. MultiDet, a semi-supervised multi-view fusion-based Anomaly Detection framework in online-to-offline logistics is proposed, which consists of a basic version SemiDet and an attention-enhanced multi-view fusion model. In SemiDet, pair-wise data augmentation is first conducted to promote model robustness and address the challenge of limited labelled anomaly instances. Then, SemiDet calculates the anomaly scoring of each merchant with an auto-encoder framework. Considering the multi-relationships among logistics merchants, a multi-view attention fusion-based anomaly detection network is further designed to capture merchants' mutual influences and improve the anomaly merchant detection performance. A post-hoc perturbation-based interpretation model is designed to output the importance of different views and ensure the trustworthiness of end-to-end anomaly detection. The framework based on an eight-month real-world dataset collected from one of the largest logistics platforms in China is evaluated, involving 6128 merchants and 16 million historical order consignor records in Beijing.

A dynamic network for image super-resolution (DSRNet) is presented, which contains a residual enhancement block, wide enhancement block, feature refinement block and construction block. The residual enhancement block is composed of a residual enhanced architecture to facilitate hierarchical features for image super-resolution. To enhance robustness of obtained super-resolution model for complex scenes, a wide enhancement block achieves a dynamic architecture to learn more robust information to enhance applicability of an obtained super-resolution model for varying scenes. To prevent interference of components in a wide enhancement block, a refinement block utilises a stacked architecture to accurately learn obtained features. Also, a residual learning operation is embedded in the refinement block to prevent long-term dependency problem. Finally, a construction block is responsible for reconstructing high-quality images. Designed heterogeneous architecture can not only facilitate richer structural information, but also be lightweight, which is suitable for mobile digital devices.

The extension models of LRSVM are introduced by imposing different orthogonality constraints to prevent computational inaccuracies. A detailed derivation of the authors’ iterative algorithms are given that is essentially for solving the SVM on the low-rank subspace. Additionally, some theorems and properties of the proposed models are presented by the authors.

Causal inference is an important method to learn the causal associations which are invariant across different environments, thus improving the generalisation ability of the model. However, existing methods usually require partitioning of the environment to learn invariant features, which mostly have imbalance problems due to the lack of constraints. In this paper, we propose a balanced causal learning framework (BCL), starting from how to divide the dataset in a balanced way and the balance of training after the division, which automatically generates fine-grained balanced data partitions in an unsupervised manner and balances the training difficulty of different classes, thereby enhancing the generalisation ability of models in different environments.

Numerous contemporary approaches have been put forth to tackle this intricate challenge. Nevertheless, effectively addressing the intricacies of cross-modal 3D shape retrieval remains a formidable undertaking, owing to inherent modality-based disparities. The authors present an innovative notion—termed “geometric words”—which functions as elemental constituents for representing entities through combinations. To establish the knowledge graph, the authors employ geometric words as nodes, connecting them via shape categories and geometry attributes. Subsequently, a unique graph embedding method for knowledge acquisition is devised. Finally, an effective similarity measure is introduced for retrieval purposes. Importantly, each 3D or 2D entity can anchor its geometric terms within the knowledge graph, thereby serving as a link between cross-domain data. As a result, the authors’ approach facilitates multiple cross-domain 3D shape retrieval tasks. The authors evaluate the proposed method's performance on the ModelNet40 and ShapeNetCore55 datasets, encompassing scenarios related to 3D shape retrieval and cross-domain retrieval.
